2. Fendi

To celebrate the brand’s 80th anniversary last year, Rimowa teamed up with the Italian fashion house to present the chic and sophisticated cabin trolley suitcase, adding a stylish twist to travel essentials.

Launched in December and finished with Fendi detailing and Cuoio Romano leather, the aluminium suitcase features the iconic double F logo on the black neoprene interior lining and handles.

3. Supreme

Rimowa collaborated with Supreme, the skateboarding brand, to create custom red and black metallic versions of the aircraft-inspired aluminium suitcases.

The luggage, launched at the start of this month, featured Supreme’s logo on both a smaller, 45-litre carry-on case and a larger 82-litre version.

Both suitcases are now available at the Rimowa pop-up store in Landmark, Hong Kong.

In a collaboration with fashion brand Off-White, Rimowa unveiled the black Topas Stealth multiwheel suitcases with “PERSONAL” and “BELONGINGS” tagging front and centre last September – taking travel luggage to the next level with their functionality and fashionable design.

5. M/M (Paris)

Rimowa joined forces with the graphic design studio known as M/M (Paris) in March last year to showcase Parisian style on Rimowa’s suitcases in a unique and artistic way.

Inspired by the French capital’s grittier side, the suitcases were adorned with some distinct detailing and a set of stickers.

Only 50 of them were made available worldwide – exclusively from high fashion retailer Colette’s website, but they sold out quickly.
